Open Cultura Pokemon College (Romance) [Discussion/Sign Ups]

sorry everyone it's been a hectic few weeks for me with work and family coming to town but it's finally slowing down. If everyone is ready i'll go ahead and time skip to the first day of school :3
 
owo)7

Doesn't seem like we have much else to do here. So I guess a time skip would really be appreciated. By the way, what will be our first class? Or is that class schedule on the first post something we'll be doing every day? I'm kinda assuming the latter but I've been to quite a few schools where the schedule rotates so just asking to make sure.
 
@kyuukestu we'll be doing the schedule every day, thats on the first post, though i do wish we had more teachers to fill in the missing slots but i also dont mind just RPing some teacher NPCs when we get to those classes.
 
Name: Corrina Dea (pronounced Daya)
Age: 25
Gender: Female
Teacher or Student: Teacher
Subject: Pokemon Nature and evolution
Appearance: A small woman of only about five feet three inches, Corrina has rich brown hair with dyed pink highlights that reaches the bottom of her shoulders. Her eyes are a cold, almost dead, light blue. She wears a simple white dress shirt with a black blazer jacket and a pleated black skirt. On her feet is a pair of mary jane shoes. Her hair is loosely tied with a black and white ribbon. Weather and temperature doesn't seem to faze her as she never changes her everyday outfit.
Personality: Corrina is very cold and emotionless. She is obsessed with knowledge and will learn all that she can, whenever she can. However, this is also a vice for her as she can sometimes cross serious boundaries for the sake of her... let's just call them experiments. Due to an accident when she was a very young child, Corrina is almost incapable of experiencing emotion on a hormanal level; her body physically cannot produce the emotion in any worthwhile sense. She tries to feel and emote but often lacks an understanding of these emotions or a means to feel them in any strong sense. She wishes to but just can't pull it off. This doesn't mean that she can't show things like kindness; she is very kind and gives to others whenever she can. Her lack of emotion just makes her unpredictable.
History: Born very curious about the world around, Corrina has been a researcher from an extremely young age. This curiosity led her to sneak out of the house during a thunderstorm when she was 5 years old. Trying to research the effects of the storm on her own backyard, she had an umbrella to keep herself and her crayon notes dry. To busy trying to watch the survival behaviors of the Pidgey family that resided in her backyard tree, she failed to notice that the lightning was getting closer to her neighborhood. One strike later and the toddler was hit with a fairly large bolt. Her parents, who had been watching scary movies in their bedroom, didn't find her until the next morning.

Miraculously, she lived. It took years of physical therapy and even a few transplants to repair most of the damage. However, there was one area that was never able to be repaired: her brain. Many of the areas responsible for the production of hormones were severely damaged and have shown very little signs of recovery. As a result, she is mostly amoral. She believes in anything for science. The slight bit of emotion she does feel keeps her in line for the most part.
Likes: Research, control, hard work
Dislikes: Forms of social interaction without a clear purpose, activites mainly rooted in emotion like comedy or art
Pokemon: Leo Formica, simply referred to as Leo, is a male Flygon. He is quiet and loves to zip around as quick as he can.

Folium Vivi, simply referred to as Vivi, is a female Leafeon. She is proud and arrogant about her foliage, which Corrina keeps in prim condition.

Cochlea Ignis, simply referred to as Ignis, is a male Magcargo. Corrina's least favorite team member (because he ends up melting her research paper when trying to peek in on her!) he is also the one that holds her attention the most; after all, he exudes liquids, constantly, that can melt most materials and yet he is not dead! It baffles the mind...

Kanga the Kangaskhan was Corrina's first research pokemon. While her main study is is pokemon evolution and not the biology of egg groups, Corrina enjoys the science and supplemental data the Kanga gives here. Kanga enjoys making sure Corrina doesn't work herself into the ground.

Name: Jezebel "Jezi" Xienstein
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Teacher or Student: Student
Subjects: Battling and Strategy
Appearance: Her hair, which is long and silky, reaches the small of her back. It's an eminence shade of purple. Her large eyes are the color of molten gold. Standing at 5'4", she is very slender and has fair skin. She usually wears long sleeve shirts that have loose sleeves and are slit at the wrists. They neckline plunges in a v-neck to the bottom of her ribs. She wears faded skinny jeans that are frayed and torn from her knees up. For shoes, she goes simple with silver and black sneakers. In colder weather, she wears a form fitting black blazer over her usual style of shirt; she always makes sure the loose sleeves are sticking out of the cuffs just a bit. Her faded skinny's are replaced with dark navy ones, free of tears and fraying. The ends of her jeans are tucked into black combat boots. She'll also toss a dark sapphire blue scarf around her neck.
Personality: Snarky and sarcastic, Jezebel is a difficult person to like. She enjoys messing with people's minds and has an exceptionally short temper. She has a hard time reigning in her aggressive tendencies; however, she is very loyal and does make an effort to loving and caring to those she cares for. She is socially awkward and tries to be a benefit to any friends she manages to make; social interaction is just very hard for her.
History: The fourth born in a family of six children, Jezebel and her siblings (2 brothers and 3 sisters) had the misfortune of being born to a pair of extremely neglectful parents. Her oldest sibling, Phillip (currently age 37), was much older than the rest of the children and tried his best to care for and raise them all. However, five children ranging from- at the time of the birth of the last baby- 12 years old to newborn, is a hard task for anyone; let alone a 27 year old who didn't make enough money to have all of them live in his own home. With Phillip being busy at work most hours, Jezebel's second oldest sibling, Anna, tried to help keep the younger kids in line as best she could. Jezebel herself was a twin; her sister Cassie was born about ten minutes before her and they're only a couple years younger than Anna. The youngest two, on the other hand, are today ages 13 and 10. Phillip and Anna tried to look after everyone evenly but with the two youngest, Maya and Luke, being so much younger than the others, the twins were usually left to themselves.

They grew up close and were rarely ever apart. They weren't identical twins- Cassie was much taller and had dark red hair with green eyes while Jezebel was much smaller boned. The home was almost always a mess of chaos, leaving the twins to explore the ruins that once been apart of the village whenever they wanted peace and quiet. Jezebel's mischievous and curious nature led her to explore in the tall grass where pokemon thrive. Cassie, be the more safety conscious twin, usually told on Jezi in the hopes that her sister would learn her lesson. She never did.

However, as the twins entered high school, they started thinking about the future. They knew they wanted to work with pokemon; Jezebel personally wants to be a gym leader. Jezebel started working any odd jobs she could get and saved most of her earnings so she could pay for trainer supplies and her tuition. Cassie was working towards the same end. Impressed by their hard work and determination, Phillip and Anna scraped up enough money to pay for the twins first year tuition. Still, the girls were stuck paying their own travel fees to catch pokemon so they only caught two before the school year.
Likes: Training with her pokemon, small towns and wilderness, playful teasing
Dislikes: Huge cities, crowds, people she deems to be moronic
Pokemon: Prince is a male Frillish and the first pokemon Jezebel caught. They have strong partnership and are partners in crime. He takes great pride in helping Jezebel along the right path and managing her anger.

Frisk is a female Larvesta that was determined to not be caught. Jezebel, being just as determined to have a second pokemon before her first school year, hunted this pokemon for nearly three days. She almost had to return home (she didn't have the money for another ferry ticket home if she stayed any longer) when she finally found Frisk. Realizing the human's determination, Frisk grew to respect the human and let herself be caught.

Egg: Rufflet she received from the school; she will name him when he hatches.

Name:
Cassandra "Cassie" Xienstein
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Teacher or Student: Student
Subjects: Pokemon Raising and Egg Caring
Appearance: Standing at around 5'9", Cassie has a natural tan, dark red hair that reaches the bottom of her shoulders, and emerald green eyes. She has a medium sized bone frame and has slim, tight packed muscles. In the warm months, she wears a snow white portrait neck shirt and flared jeans that are slit up the length of her ankle; to top this outfit off, she wears white sandals. In colder moths, she wears a crystal blue sweater with a loose neck and skinny jeans, along with a pair of white sneakers.
Personality: Quite and calm, in many ways Cassie is Jezebel's opposite. She's much more cautious and much less awkward with new people. Even though she is as prone to anger as her sister, she is much more comfortable in a crowd and is better with anger management (in the sense that she has any anger management skills at all). She has a natural mothering and caring side that she tries to use to help Jezebel. It's worked and the sisters have grown closer as they got older. Still, Cassandra isn't a fan of crowded places either so being in a university setting will be hard for them both.
History:
The third born in a family of six children, Cassie and her siblings (2 brothers and 3 sisters) had the misfortune of being born to a pair of extremely neglectful parents. Her oldest sibling, Phillip (currently age 37), was much older than the rest of the children and tried his best to care for and raise them all.

However, as the twins entered high school, they started thinking about the future. They knew they wanted to work with pokemon; however, Cassie isn't yet sure what she wants to do with them. Cassie got a job at a daycare and worked as a tutor for other kids in her school. She saved most of her earnings so she could pay for trainer supplies and her tuition. Jezebel was working towards the same end. Impressed by their hard work and determination, Phillip and Anna scraped up enough money to pay for the twins first year tuition. Still, the girls were stuck paying their own travel fees to catch pokemon so they only caught two before the school year.
Likes: Staying busy, being a caretaker
Dislikes: Chaos, selfish people
Pokemon: Bridgette the Salandit was the first pokemon Cassie ever caught. She is very sly eagerly awaits to have the abilities of her evolved form.

Emeria the Alolan Vulpix was her second pokemon. This little diva is very self assured and arrogant. It's her way or the highway, even for her trainer!

Egg: Igglybuff she received from the school. she will name it when it hatches.

Name: Parker Bell

Age: 19

Gender: Male

Teacher or Student: Student

Subjects: Pokescience and Biolog & Battle and Strategy

Appearance: Parker's hair is straight and very thick, but still soft. His hair is black and glossy, it reaches halfway down his forehead but he combs it over. His eyes are somewhat slanted, deep brown, and very easy to get lost in, like a dark forest. He also needs his glasses, he's basically blind without them. He has a somewhat circular face, with fairly clear skin. He has some very subtle stubble on his chin and jawline. Parker usually wears a black and white button-up letter jacket with a frowning face on the front of it. He also has very dark, almost black jeans and black tennis shoes with white soles.

Personality: Parker is typically alone, he avoids groups larger than 4 or so people. He has mild anxiety and severe depression, which makes him somewhat hard to approach. Even though he seems cold and distant, he warms up to people fairly quickly. He is extremely loyal and very trustworthy, the few friends he keeps mean more than anything to him. He's known to be somewhat clingy, but only occasionally. He's self sacrificial and gives things up to make others happy, and he's more likely to back down in an argument to avoid the confrontation.

Backstory: Parker is from Canalave city in Sinnoh. Because of this, he grew up with steel type Pokemon and many folklore stories. He typically spent all day and most of the night alone in the Canalave Library. He read all kinds of stories and lore, but what interested him the most was Darkrai. He promised himself he would find Darkrai and find out what he really is. He trained with many dark type Pokemon, until he was confident enough in his ability with dark types. He comes to this school as a sort of final test for himself, and to see what others know of Darkrai.

Likes: Seafood, folklore and stories, darkness, close friends.

Dislikes: Cliffhangers, bright light, large crowds.

Pokemon: Bisharp "King" - King is extremely loyal and listens only to Parker. He's stubborn and defiant, but will reluctantly follow Parker's commands. He believes he is stronger than other Pokemon simply because of his proud personality.

Doublade "Sabre" - Sabre is always looking for a fight, she's hotheaded and gets angry fast. In battle she's a storm of steel and tries to take out her enemies as quickly as possible. Parker tries not to make her angry, and she's really only cooled down around him.

Murkrow Egg - Recieved this egg from the school, he personally requested it be a dark type. Will be named after the egg hatches.
